Well, somebody figured out how to use an iPad 3G on a T-Mobile $5.99/mo Data Plan - and somebody decided to show you how. A growing number of iPad 3G owners have been able to access their T-Mobile EDGE data network by cutting T-Mobile SIM cards down to the iPad’s MicroSIM size then inserting them into their device. Sounds like a Simple hack, maybe too simple, but one thing is for sure, it saves you money - Video after the break!
Ubuntu has long been the distro of choice for Linux users and less than a year since Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala” was released, the newest boy on the block is poised to take control. Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” adds several bug fixes, tweaks and the usual GUI updates. Lucid Lynx is currently boasting support for faster boot speeds (especially on devices with SSDs), along with a socially orientated “Me menu.”
We’ve heard stories from all around on just how Gizmodo got to acquire the iPhone 4G prototype. But the one thing we haven’t heard yet is Apple’s side of the story. I mean seriously, how does one Apple engineer end up losing such a priceless device?
Enter IGN’s take on how Apple ended up on the wrong side of this year’s biggest tech scoop.
Spoiler: Mr. Jobs wasn’t very happy.
Not that long ago Twitter stated that it would be committing resources to develop its own client for Android. And guess what? It’s finally arrived.
Twitter’s newest addition appears to have some pretty deep OS integration; with support for Éclair’s Quick Contact bar and tweeting straight from the gallery app. They’ve also included a timeline widget for your home screen; and the added bonus you might ask? You even get the ability to see your friends’ latest tweets whilst inside your contact list and Google Talk app. And from the looks of things, it appears that Twitter’s worked quite closely with Google, contributing several API’s for Android’s already open sourced future. According to Chris Ziegler of Engadget you’ll currently need an Android 2.1 device to use it, but as he said “that’s just an excuse to run out and upgrade to a sweet new phone, right?”
Remember that 4.8inch expanse of MeeGo goodness known as the GW990? Well, it’s been canceled. No longer will this drop-dead-gorgeous phone serve as the premiere device for MeeGo; no instead it’s been blasted out of LG’s product roadmap. There’s no definitive reason as to why it’s been canceled, but with Moblin dead and MeeGo still far from being finished it seems like this was the best decision. Considering how impressive this device was it’s definitely a shame, but lets hope that someone else designs a drop-dead-gorgeous phone with similar capabilities. Perhaps Palm could rock out a 4.8inch device running webOS? Just a thought.
